This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
Why are people more attractive to me before I know what they look like? I know it sounds like I am being shallow but I typically have no interest in even the most attractive people once I have seen them.

I know you must be busy but may i ask what you used to do that demonstration edit of my drawing? Did you just use Photoshop with a paintbrush? (with the effect on darken?) I can't seem to get it like yours... but i extremely liked how it looked and would love to practise with it. Perhaps there is a tutorial or something you know of? Very inspiring *o* Also if you ever fancy doing an art collab, i'll definitely be up for it
Normally I would just make a video to tell you what I did and link it to you. However my Wacom drivers have all just gone kapoot for some reason. Basically all I did was use the Photoshop Brush (The 4th one on the list from left to right.) It is a hard edge brush that I have grown to like because it feels like I am coloring with markers. Then I set the opacity to something like 20 (As well I turned on pressure sensitive opacity and brush size) and picked a color that felt natural to the piece and then I just went over the areas that needed to be darker a few times. I also use the eye dropper to get light colors that were already in the piece and I blended with them. You will find using the eye dropper to grab colors from the image and doing things with many strokes of low opacity is a very quick way to get the values and hues you want in an image. Then if you want to you can go in with a smudge tool to clean it up. That is just one way though, there are hundreds of ways to do use photoshop and don't ever limit yourself to one. Play with it and have fun, and then practice practice practice. It is the only way to get better. As well just look at the world and when you don't have a computer or paper draw things in your mind. Look at things for how you actually look and just have fun with it.
hey there! Sorry to be an annoyance, but i was just wondering if you could take a peek at my drawing and maybe give me some feedback or tips? [link] i would really appreciate it! If you like it, maybe go through my gallery, i want to keep improving, so i love comments <3 Thankyou for you time!
